to continue my question has anyone tried just softer springs? both mx-tech and race tech's web sites have spring application help, and both recomend softer springs for my bike, how much difference would just springs make? or is a revalve really the only way to go?
Matt,
Chad Newton, at Triangle Cycles in Durham is probally your best bet. He's a MX-Tech Associate and a really great guy. I'd give him a call. He'll be glad to help you decide on what you really need.
the mx-tech web site shows going from a stock.48 to .44 in the forks and a stock 5.5 going to a 5.2 on the shock, in my owners manual it shows stock being a .46 in the forks and the 5.5 being correct, i only ask the question cause i hate to waste money on springs and then have to take them to someone else and buy different springs , since todays race is=$ one set of handlebars and i rad shroud, id really like to spend wisely!
Here is a link to bruce's suspension. He specializes in converting motocross suspension into off road, and also does a good bit of motocross stuff. I rode a bike setup by him once. Good Stuff!
spammer,
bruce does great work and most of the guys who ride the north carolina series use his terrain tamer system(1 fork compression, 1 fork rebound)but thats not really what im looking for ive ridden 5 or 6 bikes with his system on them , i just want my bike to handle better over roots and rocks other than that i love the way it handles, just more supple not soft.
Andrews motorsports in Concord does all my motor and suspension work. Great job might I add and will do any fixit work to the suspension or motor that you dont like for free.
Go with MX-tech, they did wonders for my suspension, it works great in the tight NC woods. It's very adjustable also, with some clicker changes I can go from MX to the woods with no problems. I would call John Curea he is the MX-tech woods guru.
